The standard deviations of $x_i (i=1, 2, \ldots, 10)$ and $y_i (i=1, 2, \ldots, 10)$ are $a$ and $b$ respectively. $\bar{x}$ and $\bar{y}$ are the means of these two sets of observations. If $z_i = (x_i - \bar{x})(y_i - \bar{y})$ and $\sum_{i=1}^{10} z_i = c$,then the standard deviation of the observations $(x_i - y_i)$ for $i=1, 2, \ldots, 10$ is:

If the standard deviation of the numbers $2, 3, a$,and $11$ is $3.5$,then which of the following is true?

If the total number of observations is $n = 20$,$\sum x_i = 1000$ and $\sum x_i^2 = 84000$,then the variance of the distribution is

$A$ scientist weighs $30$ fish. Their mean weight is $30 \text{ g}$ and the standard deviation is $2 \text{ g}$. Later,it is discovered that the weighing scale was not calibrated correctly and every fish's weight was recorded $2 \text{ g}$ less than the actual weight. What are the correct mean and standard deviation (in grams) of the fish weights,respectively?
